The vacation apartment - But what exactly is it?
A furnished apartment rented for vacation purposes is a vacation apartment. This is a short rental period, because in the case the tenant lives in the apartment only for the vacations. Most often, there is a flat rate here, for example, prices per night. A vacation apartment should give the tenant the opportunity to cater for himself. Accordingly, there should be an equipped kitchen. The limited rental period and the tourist purpose are decisive here. In contrast to a furnished apartment, a vacation apartment is not used permanently. An apartment is rented out for a longer period of time.
Furnished apartments may also not be rented to tourists. In Berlin, the issue is highly regulated. In most apartments, it is unfortunately not possible to rent them out as vacation apartments. You can find more details about this in the 4th section: Legal regulations.
Furnished apartment vs. vacation apartment
Furnished apartments and vacation rentals at first glance do not seem to have much difference, yet there are some characteristics that distinguish from each other . One is the target group. The “Wohnen auf Zeit” system is for tenants who, for example, have to or want to live in Berlin for a limited but longer period of time due to professional reasons. A vacation apartment, on the other hand, is mainly rented by tourists or others who are only in Berlin for a short time. Temporary apartments are based on normal rental prices and the additional costs that come with it. With vacation apartments, on the other hand, tenants pay per night. Thus, a vacation apartment generates higher income per night. Due to the short rental period, tenants change regularly, which is why we, as managers, have better control over the good standing of your condominium. Furnished apartments for temporary living, on the other hand, are occupied for the long term.

Accordingly, a building permit for this type of change of use must always be applied for at the relevant building authority. A Berlin main apartment may be rented out to tourists by the occupant in his absence. A secondary residence may be rented out as a vacation home for a maximum of 90 days per year. With the pre-approval of the responsible district office, a registration number is also issued.
